Shock and grief can/does make people act irrationally. Crying one minute and laughing the next.
The demeanor of Madelines mother has not altered in the four years which have passed....she still has the haunted look of a grieving mother......and one who beats herself everyday with the 'what ifs'.

Lindy Chamberlain was jailed for the murder of her daughter Azaria, it was later discovered that a Dingo had stolen this child.

While the cases are vastly different in the manner of disappearance of the two children, the vilification of the family, paticularly the mother in both cases presents similarities.

Kate Mc Cann courted the media. It was her belief that the media, and constant media attention would lead to her daughter being found.

If she could go back and change things then we would never ever have heard of her or her family...and I'm very, very sure, she wishes that this was possible.
